next birthday he'll get his weight in gold again and again and again. Tarek Fatah take note: bring in the chappati and briyani to this wholey highness to fatten him up..what a joke! £54m divorce for Aga Khan...and he's got off lightly as it could have been £500mBy Christopher Leake and Peter Allen Last updated at 11:17 PM on 1st October 2011 Billionnaire racehorse owner and playboy the Aga Khan has paid out £54 million to divorce his second wife. Six years ago, his split from his German-born former pop singer wife, the Begum Inaara Aga Khan, was billed as potentially the most expensive divorce in history with a £500 million price tag.  All over: The Aga Khan and his wife the Begum Inaara have finally agreed a deal But on Friday, papers filed at the Appeal Court in Amiens in northern France revealed a deal with his second wife, Begum Inaara, has finally been struck – at a tenth of that figure. The Aga Khan – who is worth £6 billion, owns 600 racehorses and has homes on five continents – moved legal proceedings across the Channel in the hope of getting a better settlement than he would have expected in the UK. And last night he appeared to have saved himself a fortune by shifting the case to France. The payout is by far the largest ever awarded in France, where civil settlements are comparatively low. The deal between the Aga Khan, 73, and the former Gabriele zu Leiningen is understood to include the Berkshire estate where she lives with their 11-year-old son, Prince Aly.  Smiles: Inaara married Aga Khan in 1998 The settlement follows claims by Begum Inaara, 51, that her husband was seeing an air hostess. Papers filed in the French court reveal that relationship between the Aga Khan and his wife had 'irretrievably broken down' within a couple of years of their society wedding on the Aga Khan's estate at Aiglemont, north of Paris, in 1998. The court papers stated his wife hired a private detective to track his movements with the air hostess. The revelations will be a huge embarrassment for the Aga Khan. He is the spiritual leader of 20 million Ismaili Muslims, who donate significant sums to him and worship him as their god, or 'bringer of light'. The Aga Khan is a British citizen but spends most of his time across the Channel, meaning that French judges were able to draw a line under divorce proceedings that had failed to reach a settlement at London's High Court in 2004. The French court ruled that the Begum should receive the £56 million on the grounds that the couple had a secure relationship for at least two years. It overturned a lower court award of just £10.3 million. The Aga Khan divorced his first wife, Sally Croker-Poole, a former English model, in 1995 – paying £20 million to the mother of three of his children. His second wife, born Gabriele Homey in Frankfurt, was previously married to German royal Prince Earl-Emich zu Leiningen. They divorced in 1997. The Aga Khan's divorce settlement is dwarfed by that of UK-based Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who in July paid his ex-wife Galina between £165 million and £220 million. That shattered the previous record UK divorce payout of up to £60 million by Madonna to Guy Ritchie in 2008. A source close to the divorce case said last night: 'I'm sure that the Begum is thrilled with the settlement. She is not going to want for anything.' The Aga Khan now spends most of his time on his estate near Chantilly, north of Paris. He was not available for comment.
